A couple of years ago I had occasion to spend some time in the hospital. They had recently purchased new mattresses. I have never been on a mattress as comfortable as these were! I did not want to come home . I believe they were the memory foam type. Incredibly comfortable.

Look at the range in the pulse rate. Would that be fairly normal? Would it increase during REM for instance? Also is there any way to find out how long the lowest desats lasted and if they correlate with the high pulse?

I wish I had a camera. We could of the separated at birth ilk. I feel your pain at your experience with your doctors. After having a heart attack at 35 and complaining of extreme exhaustion for almost 13 years I still get the pat on the forehead and treated like a wackadoo. I have a couple of questi...

Yes good job CG. This is a well worn tactic dating back to the early usenet days. It is also not uncommon to see another not so well known poster support the troll. I used to frequent the Mandrake Linux forums and some of the antics of the trolls were unbelievable to say the least. Too bad there isn...

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

Yup he is a bit off isn't he.

Hey any time.

I'm probably very different from everyone else on here, but I thought I'd share so you can see how similar and different everyone's story is. I never woke up, have never been told I snore and had no idea I had apnea. My only "symptom" was EXCESSIVE overwhelming fatigue. I'd sleep 14-20 hours a day ...

Thanks for all the support and wisdom. It really helps. As for my cat..... she is a little frustrated as it is taking longer to train me than she hoped. Thanks again

Thanks.

Hi folks thanks for the replies. Sorry for taking so long to respond but I had computer problems (blew 2 capacitors on my motherboard) and was waiting for the warranty replacement. Here is what I have done/discovered. First off I discovered a tiny leak in the hose and have replaced it. Although my c...
